Roast on high under broiler (2nd from top rack) for 10-15 min, rotating halfway through.
Allow to cool for 5-10 min before crumbling meat.

2. To cook, heat a dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot over medium high. Add about 3T oil and the sliced mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Stir and saute for 2-3 min until water has released and mushrooms are browned and softened.

3. Stir in onions, garlic, and a pinch of salt, scraping bottom of pot to deglaze and scrape up mushroom fond. Stir in tomato paste and flour and cook for 1-2 mins until tomato paste has turned from red to rusty in color.

4. Stir in wine stirring and scraping fond from bottom of pot. Reduce until wine evaporates.

5. Whisk together water, gelatine, and better than bouillon. Add into pot with mushrooms and veg and bring to a simmer.

6. Add in crumbled beef with any drippings. Cook and reduce for about 10 minutes to thicken.

7. While that thickens, cook noodles in salty water to just past al dente. Drain and shock with cold water to stop cooking. Return noodles to their cooking pot, add 1-2T olive oil and stir.

8. Stir heavy cream into the stroganoff and cook and reduce for about 10 more minutes, stirring often.

Finally snagged that BTB sponsorship...

I love the time-saving techniques that keep high quality. Many chefs are all about show, but replicating their recipes at home is punishment. You are the gourmet for the everyman, a democratizer of domestic culinary bliss. Hands down, you have the best YT channel for home cooks.

Nostalgic. This is probably the first Hamburger Helper dish I ever made when I was a kid. Still delicious.

[Akumagits]

quick note about the mushrooms. You can rinse / wash your mushrooms in water. They don't pick up a lot of water. Serious eats, harold mcgee and others have written about how much water they absorb when being washed. This bit of thing, is handed down instructions when people never bothered checking.

I made this for dinner tonight, and it hit perfectly. I’ve been searching for a ground beef stroganoff recipe that checked all the boxes, and this is the one. I’ll be making this one again.

[johnreynoldsjr]

thank you, thank you, thank you for using Better Than Bullion beef base. I use their products exclusively in my kitchen for a myriad of recipes.

Woah. Just made this for the fam and it’s literally insane! Like I took a pilgrimage to the motherland and was gently cradled in the hefty arms of my imaginary German grandmother with every bite. Two thumbs up from my son. Two thumbs at a neutral medium from my daughter (hard to please). Our 1yo crushed it hard and swift and grunted for seconds. 5 stars.

Brian has become my favorite new online chef. I've made 4 recipes from his videos, all were amazingly tasty. Instead of the usual prompted comments from the family ("Did you like it?" "Uh, yeah. It was...okay") I get enthusiastic plaudits ("Wow! This is delicious!") and coming back for seconds and thirds. His videos are great, easy to follow, gives great tips on time and cost saving, and fun to watch!

Bri, ever since you showed Better Than Bouillon I added it to all my meat dishes that need a brown gravy (Italian Beef, Goulash, etc). It's made life so much easier. I love it. Thanks for introducing it to us!

[LeonardZakoor]

I'm super happy to see that Better than Bouillon finally got on board!! That stuff is amazing.

[jarrottbarker]

Better Than Bouillon is a legit game changer. I always have it stocked in my pantry and incorporate it into so many recipes.

[lucaudette]

I like the way you give alternatives to classic recipes. I tried several of your recipes and they all taste delicious.

[jmcmonster]

I don’t want to gush too much about BTB, but it has definitely changed my cooking game - and saved me a ton of money over the store bought boxed stuff that goes bad in the fridge when I only need a cup or two.

Also, this is totally something my mom would make. We always had this ground beef version vs chunks.

[GoingApeCostume]

Okeydokey, my husband and I bought a bunch of the Better than Bullion products using your code. We are DEE-LIGHTED. We bought Italian Herbs, Mushroom, Sauteed Onion and Smoky Chipotle. Each one is brilliant.

For lunch last week, instead of making an effort, I mixed a scoop of whipped cream cheese, a leftover chopped up hamburger patty, some pepper and a teaspoon of the mushroom. Served that on top of egg noodles and leftover peas.. Was a fast lunch and blew me away with flavor! Thanks BtB and Brian L.

BTW, I still keep frozen chunks of your roasted butter chicken thighs in my freezer. Now I'm going to coat the same in the BtB chipotle and feel FINE about it.

[italianasc]

Better Than Bouillon is the bomb!! And yes, you've used it often, as have I. Glad they gave you a sponsorship!!

[bronsondiamond]

LOL I bought Better Than Bouillon and was so stoked to try it. Went home and made my spaghetti, was proud of my dish, went in for the taste. It wasn't poppin. I open the fridge to see what i missed and there's the BTB jar sitting on the shelf unopened xD I forgot to use it. I'm gonna use it today in a "beef stroggi". That's what I've called it since a teen.

[briannestephenson]

I made this for dinner tonight and both me and my fiancé took a fork full and went "wow" at the same time. It is so amazing and I'm 100% adding it to my rotation. Thank you for such a fabulous recipe

[karenfox]

I was hoping you would get to this recipe, because you're so right about how tasteless large chunks of ground beef can be. The tomato paste is brilliant. Just like when you put it in the chicken stock recipe. Tomato paste along with the Dijon mustard and fresh dill will send this over the top! Thanks so much!

[samkang]

YO! Okay - hell frick'n yes!!! Dude, as someone who appreciates the mid-western roots of this dish (I'm not from there but my Mother In Law who is an amazing cook is) I love the your absolute combination of your short cut for the Maillard goodness with the great steps to make the best daily Stroganoff yet. You get 3 x DAMs!!! for this. Love all of your videos and will absolutely support you now that I've found your channel.

First of all, this is fantastic. My wife has been "Jonesing" for this, but I wasn't going to make the Betty Crocker recipe we used when the kids were small. This is a grown-up version. Secondly, the full recipe here is HUGE for empty nesters. Since the ground beef packages we buy are 1.33 lbs, I reduced all the other ingredients by 1/3, and it was still a lot. This was made MUCH easier by using weight measurements for the ingredients. Thank you!
